i remember president bush, george w. bush, was quoted -- used to be quoted as saying, you know, people will be out in the oval office waiting room and they'll say i'm going to go in and tell the president, great texas phrase, what all, and they get in and they say oh, what a lovely tie, mr. president. and i think that's a big part of this. and i think that that's one of the reasons what happened in '04. i think it's probably what happened last night. and one thing we do know, we know that governor romney is a hugely competitive guy. but arguably the only person around more competitive is barack obama. and so there's, you know, this is 30 days out. i would think this would be a much bigger deal in terms of the tactical horse race if this were like 1980. if this debate had been on october 28th, i think this would be a much more -- have much more possibility of being truly transformative. i think it's hugely important, but, again, mark twain is dead. >> all right. thank you for that. let's go to "the wall street journal."

bush, hear a lot about florida, george w. bush wouldn't have been president without new hampshire, that's a state mitt romney owns a home, the president owning a large lead again. that's changed in the past month. registered voters said the direction of the country had improved but the place where that was most significant, new hampshire. in june there was a 20 point gap between wrong track, right track. that gap in this poll is just 7%. we're seeing that time and time again. now let's go to virginia. another important state. mitt romney loses ohio, mark, i am sure you agree with me, he has to win virginia. new suffolk university poll last night shows the race is much tighter than it has been. president obama only ahead of mitt romney by 2 percentage points. and fascinating there. how does all of this look, mark? >> look, it is right to not take any single poll, make a huge deal of it, but there are some state polls like that batch from nbc and the virginia poll, if you saw those in a vacuum, you'd say romney is in the game.
